Brixx Wood Fired Pizza
Brixx Wood Fired Pizza is a fast-casual chain specializing in handcrafted pizzas prepared in wood-burning brick ovens.
Mongolian Barbeque restaurants have been popular for years, but the 29-unit Ghengis Grill appears to have adapted the cuisine perfectly for a fast-casual concept. Using what the chain calls an “interactive style of exhibition cooking,” customers select an array of meats, oils, vegetables and sauces and then hand them over to a “Grill Master” who transforms the ingredients into a meal.
